Nicolas Lenglet Du Fresnoy Quote

It is necessary to note that there are two kinds of chemistry; the one wise and reasonable, even necessary for the extraction of useful remedies from all things in nature.: the other is that foolish and senseless chemistry which is nevertheless the older of the two... The first has been given the name of Chemistry, and the second that of Alchemy.
